Hi...my name is not Fibromyalgia, but I am someone who is visible and is also velcroed to you for life. I am beginning to understand how this Chronic Illness causes your body to ache with pain, makes you sweat uncontrollably, prevents you from getting a good nights sleep and ultimately sends you into sheer frustration.

Although I physically don’t feel your pain, emotionally I do. Fibromyalgia has invaded your body and has turned your world upside down. You may think that you are in this alone and I would I say "you couldn’t be more wrong."

Fibromyalgia doesn’t stand a chance against me. Oh yeah, it may rear its little head anytime it pleases but it has failed to see that I will help inspire you with my Energy, bring you Laughter when it has brought you to tears but most of all provide Love and Support when you need it most.

You see. . . my name is Encouragement, and I am here to stay.

Bruce
